This is a very nice place to have a chilled time with your family or friends. It has wide space for events also. With a historical monument, going back to the 1800s. It's a public area. Tourists always come over. They don't miss it.

A beautiful historic stone fort built in 1799. It located on a hill with a spectacular view of lower city in Port Elizabeth. It is located at the corner of Fort Street. Open Monday - and Friday 08:30am - 15:30pm. It is closed on Saturdays. It also features a small playground for children and scattered benches.

Fort Frederick in Port Elizabeth, South Africa, was built in 1799 in order to stop the French from conquering the Cape Colony during the Napoleonic wars and played a vital role in establishing British rule in South Africa in combination with the Battle of Blaauwberg.

A true relic of the past. It is well worth a look at, if you have the time. You can also get amazing views of the Port Elizabeth harbour. There is however no information centre at Fort Frederick, so getting a good background information before arriving will help.

(Translated by Google) The fort was built in 1799 on Belmont Terrac. It is a stone fort built by the British army to guard Algoa Bay. It is named after the Duke of York and the commander of the British army Frederick. The fortress overlooking the fortress is actually one of the first buildings in Port Elizabeth and is considered the beginning of British colonial rule in the Cape. The fortress of the late 18th century contained several major design features, the gunpowder depot and its original weaponry, including two 8-pounder guns and a 5.5-inch howitzer, plus the magnificent view of Algoa Bay is also worth visiting. (Original) 堡壘建於1799年，位於貝爾蒙特高崗Belmont Terrac上，是英軍守衛著阿爾戈亞灣Algoa Bay而建造的石堡，以約克公爵和英軍司令弗雷德里克Frederick的名字命名。俯瞰要塞的堡壘，實際上是伊麗莎白港的最初建築之一，被認為是英國在開普殖民地統治的開始。 18世紀後期的堡壘包含幾個主要設計特徵，火藥庫及其原始武器裝備，包括兩把8磅炮和一挺5.5英寸榴彈砲，加上Algoa灣壯麗的景色也值得一遊。

Love the history of these places, but no tour guides, no booklets or anything to tell you about the history.

Amazing place . Stayed at the harbour master and they stay was awesome .

Amazing harbour view from there..

Could do with a bit of cleaning but great views

Nice view

Great place

Part of South African history. The rooms need a clean up and better control

It's a brick fort with old cannons. There are no signs telling the history of the place. The view is upon the port and some industrial buildings. In both buildings inside the walls there were people looking like hobos who started yelling when we got nearby. Unpleasant experience.

Occupied by squatters. Use one of the stores for ablutions. A disgrace for PE

It helped for the time. It has a beautiful view over the harbour.

Safety concerns. Also not much information about this place on site.

Good condition. Well maintained

Great view of the Greater Port Elizabeth area. Very peaceful.

Amazing view

Its okay, sometimes

To many "bos slaapers" there which will attack you for you valuables.. absolutely no control and they are not afraid of confronting visitors... unfortunately, this used to be an attraction but no longer a safe place to visit..

Lovely view over the harbour.

Always a great stop to PE or CT

Interesting history. Peaceful area. Clean. Friendly people around.

Good day out.

Awesome history here. Great bit of sight seeing to be done here.

It's a nice, quick little stops if you have a bit of time in your day and makes for some nice photos 📷 I would suggest either sunrise or sunset so that you can enjoy the view too.

Great view of the harbour and the ocean!

This little known fort was built in 1799. It is clean and well preserved. There is a view of the bay and the tennis court size flag at the Donkin reserve can be seen in the distance. .

Very well maintained! Ask the harbor Master hotel for entry

It's a really cool spot to experience a bit of history and get some nice photos. Definitely recommend if you're in the area. Was also pleasantly surprised to see two security officers patrolling the property.

Just to have a great sea view of Harbor and cool air with nature.

Very authentic 👌 Thank you Sam for hosting us, your a phenomenal woman!! Keep up the great service.

Great view of the Bay

It's Free and has great views on a Sunny day

Intersting history

Very interesting and important piece of history available to see. The structures are still in good condition and all the cannons too. Definitely worth looking at and also amazing views of the city and the bay from up there.

Great view and history, just a pitty area is not kept clean by local authorities

View is spectacular

Beautiful view, rich history. A must see.

Distressing to see this historical place in such a sad state

Very beautiful surroundings and an amazing historical experience as you walk your way through this small fortification and realize that you are in the protective heart of Port Elizabeth

It really isn't maintained and cleaned well. What a pity. It's such an interesting part of history. It should be locked and entry should be managed.

Took my gr4 classes there during the week and we loved it. Then I took my son to see it over the weekend and it was closed over the weekend. A Italian tourbus also stopped there and was very dossapointed It should be open on Sat and Sun mornings!

Rich in history...Brittain's forst official building in South Africa? Never a shot fired from here

Place was close and not open as per website, very disappointed in this, but what can you expect from EC. Pictures of outside of fort for those interested.

Area doesn’t feel very secure but interesting history and great city and harbour views

Nice to be able to show the kids. Great history and view still. Just a way too much rubbish lying around.

Big board that inform you that Fort will be open daily from 8h30 to 15h30. It was locked. Would love to see the inside.

Historic site with amazing view of the city. It is very interesting to see the bunkers and little rooms built so many years ago. A must see especially for the local Port Elizabethans. Our city is beautiful Gate closes at 430

Lovely view of the harbour and surrounds. Worth a visit for pictures. Usually quite deserted so rather not visit alone

Was closed on day so no comment

Nice sea view and there are resting benches.

Nice view of the beach

The view of ocean and harbour is amazing, but its a bit unsafe going there alone as there's no security plus there are a lot of vagrants

Great views. Municipality can do more to keep the place clean

(Translated by Google) A very nice place. It is strategically placed on the top of a hill and offers good visibility and a pleasant wind that will refresh you. Please note the neighborhood is quite sensitive. Having a guide is advised (Original) Un très bel endroit. Il est placé stratégiquement sur le haut d'une Coline et offre une belle visibilité ainsi qu'un vent agréable qui vous rafraîchira. Attention le quartier est assez sensible. Avoir un guide est conseillé

Nice place to get some good city views. Not much information posted about the place.

Amazing beach side view
